Awesome breakfast burritos!! Quick service, friendly staff, very accessible. Highly recommend

Brace yourself, really small building also they take cash only but the food was good. I got a chalupa plate with double rice. The cashier was pretty nice and patient with us since it was my first time. read more

Was drawn in by great comments and stars. Had one of the best Menudo! Will definitely return to try other menu items read more

Excellent food. Even better service. Worth the wait - don't just drive by because the parking lot looks full. Authentic food at a great price. read more

Hands down the best morning and lunch Mexican food you will ever have. Whenever I'm in Waco, it's a must for me to go there and eat. They have been open forever and the food is still just as good as when I was a child. The best Salsa in town. read more

supposedly authentic mex but it's not that great very small place not room if you want to dine in

this place is amazing the service was excellent and the food was mouth watering good if you stop at Waco Texas this might be the best restaurant there. read more

No. Hole in the wall, tiny and dirty. Good luck finding a place to sit. No.................................

Phenomenal Menudo. Low prices and friendly owner. Parking can be a hassle and it tends to be full. Go at the right time and it's usually enjoyable. My only food related complaint is they have canned soda. Staff varies from time to time but the owner is always the same, jovial, boisterous, imposingly friendly and treats his regulars like... 'family'. Just like the name clearly states. If you ever notice the photos next to the register feel free to ask their significance!!! (Hint: I asked today, those 5 are past customers) read more

I know this place entirely from breakfast, as early as possible to beat the crowd (Good luck on that one!). I agree with all the reviews about the terrific food, and also the sometimes hectic atmosphere, not to mention the occasional issues with parking. What those reviews are missing is just how very, very friendly the staff (and the owner) are. They seriously go out of their way to be friendly. If your day can ever be improved by a kind word and a friendly face, this would be your ideal place. Just a delight. read more

Well the waitress was just a doll! The inside kind of seemed hectic and I like to chill at lunch time especially where Mexican food is concerned. So we chose to sit outside at the old picnic tables. It's not bad out there the day was pretty. The street is pretty busy with traffic. But that entertained my son so that's always a bonus! They were nice enough to make my son something not on the menu that he would eat. So I was totally grateful for that! They serve their salsa warm and charge $2.50 for chips and salsa. My food absolutely hit the spot. The enchiladas were delicious. THEY ONLY ACCEPT CASH. SO BE PREPARED FOR THAT. We will stop by for lunch again soon I'm sure. :) read more

La Familia Restaurant - the front of the house - Mexican Near Me - Waco, Texas

Your small bowl of hot homemade fresh menudo is larger than most restaurants. This is well seasoned menudo. Hot tasty salsa & warm tortilla chips homemade at its best . Don't let the small hole in the wall restaurant scare you off because of all the cars outside the building!!! There is always a seat ready for you ..think you can't fit or have to wait long ...long lines and small space is still fast moving crowd in and out and table wait time is usually less than five minutes. First rated customer service and Delicious food equals money well spent! As long as it took me to write this review the 8 people in line waiting for their to go orders are gone and three empty tables are now ready for you! Crowds mean good food! read more

Hands down the best menudo in town! The bowls are huge, the tripe is so tender and the broth is so rich and flavorful. They also have delicious burritos in large handmade tortias. I always get their egg, potato and sausage burrito. Their fajita burritos are also really good! This is place hasn't changed in 20 years (I take that back, they have recently remodeled) . It's a tiny little homey place, just a few tables, so you need to get their early because especially on Saturday mornings it's packed... The boss is great, very friendly. They make you feel right at home! read more

This place has some of the most authentic Mexican food in Waco. It is family owned and operated and is constantly filled with locals. They make their own fresh flour tortillas including the giant ones for their burritos. They have delicious breakfast tacos and excellent steak fajita. Highly recommend this place but do have one complaint- NO CREDIT CARDS ARE ACCEPTED. I am a college student and rarely have access to cash. If this place accepted credit cards I would go once a week instead of once a month. It would be very simple for them to accept cards through square. This place could use an entrepreneur to help them expand. I think with proper financing they could easily add a food truck or build a larger restaurant because this place is seriously FAN-TASTIC. read more

Best beef fajita burrito in Texas. Great salsa and tortillas. read more

The absolute only down side is the fact it's cash only, so I can't eat here every day. Best breakfast burrito in town.

First time eating here but worth the effort. Food was tasty, homemade and hot. You may wait for a table but that's ok. Give it a try

La Familia has been my favorite Mexican restaurant for over 10 years! The food is so delicious, authentic and fresh. It has never let me down. The fajitas are my favorite thing to order, and the chips and salsa are like no other. You have to have cash on hand to eat there (be prepared) I try to visit the restaurant every time I go to Waco. They close at 2pm, so I usually go earlier. It's busy at lunch time. I don't think I'll ever stop eating there! read more

Best!!! Love their food. I been going here since a small child. Couldn't want for Saturday mornings so I could have my fijita burrito. The salsa is amazing. The food is amazing and the service is awesome. They are very friendly nice people. Always pack in this small place, but so worth the wait. We usually call a head or order to go. Either way I love this place and keep coming back for more. read more

Best kept secret in Texas. If you happen to find yourself lost in Waco, do yourself a favor and eat here! The carne guisada burrito is pure magic. It is meat, rice, and beans. You can also opt for the all meat version if youre extra carnivorous. By far the best Mexican food Ive ever eaten. Its almost worth traveling ti waco for lunch and then going home to wherever you live. read more

I had chicken fajitas. The meal was dry and tasteless. The service was friendly. I thought I would try it out do to the high reviews but I was very disappointed. Maybe other items on the menu are good. I can't recommend this restaurant. read more

Been coming here for years. Love the chips and salsa (it's the warm kind). Most of the time I just stick to the beef fajita burrito because it's so good. However, when I did branch out and order the migas, I was not disappointed. The only negative about the place is that it can be hard to get seated right away if you go during a peak time (Saturday lunch, for instance). Be warned - it's a cash only place! No credit cards are accepted. read more

Memories of breakfast burritos with the boys. This place was tradition when we lived in Waco, especially back in my more wild days. Staying up all night, waking up to the biggest burrito imaginable. Not to mention I could seriously drink their salsa. I'll always love La Familia. read more

Great chips and sauce! Great fajita burrito, I recommend beef, beans, cheese and veggies.

It a pretty good place. People are super nice. One of the chicks the works there needs a hair net for her arm pits.

best breakfast food in waco! The restaurant is very small and cramped but ordering your food for pick up is always a joy for me when I'm ordering from them. read more

Another fantastic hole in the wall this one is actually popular by Baylor students just because it's close to Baylor. You can get them to deliver if you order quite a bit. It only seats about 30 people it's very small inside so best to call your order in and get it to go. As soon as the table is available it is scooped up so if you want to stand around and wait for one that's totally up to you I've done it , heck even sat down with strangers had some good conversations. read more

My husband and I have been going here for over 15yrs and there's a reason for that...The food is amazing with great flavor. It's a small hole in the wall and normally has a long line but the wait is so worth it! The staff is friendly and this place also won the "Clean the Plate Award". The only negative is that you must have CASH. If your looking for some great Mexican food you check this place out. read more

Great little small no frills restaurant. We arrived a few minutes after it was supposed to close at 2pm. The owner stayed open so we could have lunch and I'm glad he did. Everything was fresh and cooked to order. The best tamale I have ever had! read more

Had the Migas for breakfast! Everything was fresh and quick. Third time I eat here, always good.

This resturant has been a tradition for my father and I for years. This family owned resurant is homey and GOOOODDDD!!! The breakfast burritos are my favorite!! read more

I love everything off their menu. Nothing is disappointing! They are family owned with homemade tortillas. Best breakfast burritos, menudo and hands down the best chips and salsa. They always pass 100% on their health report!!!!!! You won't be disappointed. Such a lovely family that is always welcoming. Great atmosphere. read more

They are the greatest in delivery.. The man who takes our order is very funny and so sweet. He is very patient while taking the order. No matter how big or how small he treats every order the same. Their food is great and reasonable as well.. I usually order the beef fajita burrito. Most people order bacon/egg/cheese burrito's. Bacon is a little salty but has a wonderful flavor. I highly recommend this restaurant!!! read more

I agree with the others the sauce is delicious! Downfall is the place is so small its hard getting in and out. They have the same waitress and occasionally her daughter helps out, both are very unkempt and slouchy and can be loud and obnoxious at times. The food is great just recommend getting it to go. read more
